"Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile." -my view on the road you're taking. ArenaNet, I have the utmost respect for you. Both as a game developer and a company. However, this adoption of RNG cosmetics is just so very, very disappointing. Black Lion chests are fine since you can sell the rewards on the BLTC; allowing those who want to gamble an option, but making the items earn-able without RNG. "Adoption Contracts" need to be changed to a similar system, or give an opener a choice in what mount skin they get for 400 gems. As for that quote above? That is what I fear you will do if "Adoption Contracts" become successful. Let's say I buy into the Contracts. Deciding to spend 2K gems for 5 chances at a skin I want, I'm giving you an inch. You make a similar offer again, but this time decide the non-duplicate guarantee isn't earning enough projected revenue, so it's removed resulting in duplicates galore. That's you taking the mile. So I wont give an inch, I will not be buying these skins unless there is a change. That is called speaking with wallets. I sincerely hope you will listen and choose a direction that earns my continued respect of your company, ArenaNet.
